- Note
Viscosity is measured with 2% aqueous solution at 20°C. Viscosity ranges are 80 - 120% for labeled viscosity less than 600 mPa.s and 75 - 140% for labeled viscosity 600 mPa.s and higher, respectively. (Viscosity is harmonized item among the USP, EP and JP).

Technical Details & Test Data
- Equilibrium Moisture Content of METOLOSE®
- Surface Activity
METOLOSE® can be considered a non-ionic surfactant, as it has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in the molecule. Due to such characteristics, it functions as a superior protective colloid, being effective for the stabilization of emulsions, suspensions, and foams.
- Stability at Various pH Values
METOLOSE® solution maintains a constant viscosity over the pH range of 3-11. At pH outside of this range, the viscosity will be lower. If a METOLOSE® solution is stored at low pH (acidic), its viscosity will be gradually decreased due to depolymerization.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Information
Packaging material: Double-layered polyethylene bag in fiber drum.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
- Keep dry. Store away from excess heat and sunlight.
